I'm not sure if the HTC one m8 unlocked is the same as HTC one m8 off contract and also if you have a HTC one m8 off contract and you unlock the bootloader is that consisdered as a htc one m8 unlocked? (im asking this because i saw that developer edittion and htc one m8 unlocked is getting the lollipop update and mine is not)

Unlocked means it is not tied to a specific carrier, like Vodafone or AT&T. Although my M8 was Vodafone UK branded, I bought it in Greece with Italian papers inside and it was a sealed box. Also it was unlocked, not the bootloader, but the phone was unlocked to any carrier. Bootloader was unlocked by me with HTC dev.

thanks for the reply, i was really getting confused, but then why does mine not have an update from htc to official lollipop eventhough mine is not tied to a carrier? (P.S. my bootloader is still locked)

Because Lollipop isn't out yet. Only for the Dev Ed and GPE versions.

I can get a branded HTC One M8 get through my provider Vodafone Netherlands.
Now I wonder is there much delay between the updates of Vodafone Branded and WW International M8.
In the past it took them about a extra month to update my HTC hd2 , maybe they're faster nowadays but when in doubth just go for unbranded ( maybe thorougth typhone?)

if you can get for free by Vodafone most of the times you can get it also by typhone (and others) even if you have to pay a bit for it I would do it.
Just my 2 cents ?
Vodafone in the UK have been very quick at updates in my experience.

I will see. Maybe i can change my CID and MID and install stock International 401.
Hi Justine,
Wondering if you changed CID or somehow managed to get S-Off ?
I just got my ne M8 Vodafone NL and unlocked the bootloader.
Tried to s-off with firewater but it's a no-go.

Yes with s-off you can easily convert it to Developer Edition - International or GPe

thanks. that was the only thing i had in mind that whether or not the international roms are compatible with it. coz verizon and AT&t m8 have separate development forums on xda

thats because the americans cant agree to use the same radio frequencies for their networks, so companies need to make different models for each carrier.
i bought myself an used phone on o2, s-off'd it, changed the cid to GOOGL01 and flashed the GPE conversion RUU. HTC__001 is the sim free cid if you want to flash a sense RUU to completely unbrand your device

You'll be good with international based ROMs. You wouldn't be good with others. The O2 M8 is International WWE. You may have to update your firmware though, to run the latest ROMs, otherwise your wifi will not work.
I've got an unlocked, unbranded Australian One M8 (HTC__039) but I'm not getting any updates to Lollipop. I've installed all the updates but the latest has kept me at 4.4.4 (Sense 6.0, Software 3.32.710.9, SDK 6.25, build 3.32.710.9 CL397296 release-keys) and saying there's no further updates. I'm not S-OFF so I can't change my CID to apply another OTA and I want to update before I start using it and have to reconfigure things again after the update. I was under the impression that HTC have released Lollipop for all unlocked variants now?
Am I doing something wrong or have HTC not released an update for my CID yet?
Your phone is Vodafone-branded, hence no update yet
It's not Vodafone branded. Vodafone branded ones carry a CID VODAP*** this is HTC__*** which are the international variants.

Vodaphone is also international. And if you mean it's wwe.....it's not, wwe has software number 401.

Well, not sure why it's listed on the Vodafone Australia support site then...
http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/HTC-One-M8-software-update
But no, it's not the European unlocked so no update yet...
No ota update
Hello,
Can some one help me out or at least try.
I have installed the stock ROM of KitKat 4.4.4 3.28.401.9 from the links provided on my HTC ONE M8. I have stock recovery, unlocked bootloader, S-ON and non rooted but I cannot receive any update of the new software Lollipop. Is there an app or something else that is blocking the update?
3-4 days ago when it was released in Europe, I have managed to download the update from the phone, but I couldn't install it because of some error. Then I decided to wipe the system and install the stock rom again and now ... no update what so ever ? Any help ?
Thanks a lot!!!

Vodafone just happen to have the latest version too. It's still not Vodafone.
I did contact HTC Australia today and it IS an unlocked Australian version, but they advised they have not released the update to Australian customers yet and HTC Australia have not been told by HTC HQ when the release will be available
Seems a bit of a poor effort to me - The phone is the same and it's unlocked so why shouldn't all unlocked variants get the update at the same time???

It's probably a network unlocked phone but taken from vodaphone. The software number does prove it comes originally from vodaphone.
Any news?
Hey guys do you have any news about Lollipop Update for the HTC One M8?
I've got an Australian factory unlocked version and in these days I checked so many times if there was the Lollipop OTA but nothing appears... Is it normal or something is wrong?
I'm worried now, I was wondering if someone of you could help me or give me more informations about it.
Thanks for your time
I owned a htc m9u just gave to me by my relatives abroad. forgot what country he's staying.
my question is, is there any significant diffirence with the variant m9u between m9 when it comes to hardware and with updates release by HTC?
my device is running android 5.1 . SN# 2.10.709.1.
the ota always tell the my system is up to date.
Hope someone will clarify this up. Thank you!
The "u" just stands for unlocked. The only difference between that and other M9 models are the frequency bands they're compatible with. Also, the Developer Edition comes with an unlocked bootloader.

good afternoon. Can you tell me if the M9U server parts for the M9?
Trolling eBay for a HTC 10 and see unlocked Verson, T-Mobile, AT&T. Are they all equal when it comes to root with Sunshine or HTC Dev and custom ROM availability? Been away from HTC since my M8 and want to device to root. I'm using AT&T if it matters and I don't know if the unlocked Verizon has all the LTE bands. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Verizon variant will be pain in the ass to s-off and use on AT&T. Same for sprint variant. Try to get full unlocked variant. Tmobile variant should be ok also.
